ExecJS::ProgramError: SyntaxError: Reserved word “function”

Question

In our rails rfq.js.coffee, we only have a simple js code:

$(function() {
  $(\'#need_report\').change(function(){
    if ($(this).val() == true) {
      $(\         


        

Answer 1

You can't use standard JS like that in a Coffeescript file. Either rename the file to rfq.js, or convert it to coffeescript:

$ ->
  $('#need_report').change ->
    if $(this).val()
      $('#report_language').hide()

Answer 2

Maybe you wrote JavaScript code into file with extension .coffee you can use js2.coffee to convert your code from JavaScript to CoffeeSecript

Answer 3

You can embed regular javascript by surrounding the code with back-ticks "`". I wish it worked like the other parsing languages as well...it took me lot's of unnecessary debugging and searching to figure that out. http://coffeescript.org/#embedded
